years of age at her death. Her mother was

$2O0,gO0a year, and increased the amount an
nually; yet her fortune increased till it
yielded 5000, 600 q year. Her gifts drew upon
her SO many begging letters and appeals that
she had recourse to the charitable organiza,
tions, and most of her gifts were through the
medium Of the Episcopal church. Among
her best known properties were her house
and grounds at Newport, worth s7OO,0c0, and
her elegant home ON Madison avenue, New
York city. In this she had several OF the
noted paintings OF the world, such as Rosa
Bonheur's WEAVING OF the Calves Detailles'
Guard Of Honor Chasing the Cossacke,n
SIunkacsy's ''Mont de Piete," and Knaus'

told an to the mason why she never married,
but they rest on mere conjecture. Personally
she was very pleasant, and was much at

church and charity she gave for the pleasure
OF giving, from the natural promptings OF a

St Augustine, Fla, which was visited by
fire but a few days ago, had twice before
suffered severely from the rnvages Of the
flames. In 1856 1t was burned by Sir Francis
Drake, and in 1702 by IN expedition from the
Carolinas under command OF Governor
Moore. The account Of complete destruction
in the second case are probably rather myth

only the old landmarks about the square
have suffered.
But all the nation is interested because st.
Augustine is the oldest town in the country,
and the fire destroyed some of the most noted
antiquities.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE.
NEW YORK cITY,s HUNDRED YEAR
OLD SCHOOL.

Something About the Institution That
Has Just Celebrated It's -CsntennIal-Its
Earliest and Its Latest PresIdent-Some
of Its buildings.
The stirring scenes and eloquent addresses
at tho centennial celebration Of Columbia
college, New York city. just past, would have
but a local interest if Columbia itself wero
not much more than a local institution. But
in its origin and history, still more in its
graduates, it is national; the history of its
development is an epitome OF the progress Of
thought in tho United States, and among its
first graduates were such men as John Jay
and Alexander Hamilton, whose talents nave
left a permanent impress upon the c~onstitu-
ton, finances and political development OF
tho United States. The centennial of such an
institution, therefore, is matter of national
interest; and right we'll did the representa-
tives of all sections of the nation Join to give
eclat 10 tho occasion. The old college boasts
talent enough among its graduates to Gdorn
any department of thought, and in the adj
dress of Hon. Stewart L. Woodruff, of the
graduating class of 1854, and the Grafton of
Frederic r. Coudert, of tho class OF 1850,

Columbia college is the democratic-repub-

VISIT FROM THE PRESIDENT.

A Washington dispatch says the President
has virtually decided to make short stop at
this city on his way to ST. Louis in October.
The exact date is not fixed, but will be known
later. The announcement is somewhat of a
surprise as it was understood that an invita-
ton extended to the President several weeks
ago to visit the city was declined, and no
special steps have oe en- taken to renew it.
Now that ne has reconsidered the matter and
decided to stop here, it will behooye our citi-
zens to consider what ought to be done in the
way of receiving him. The President of the
United States is the President of all the peo-
pie, the constitutional head of the Nation for
the time being, and as such deserves a loyal
and respectful reception wherever he may 60
1t is unnecessary in this connection to raise
the question of party politics. We do not
understand that there is any particular politi-
cal significance in the proposed trip of the
President, either in its effect on his own party
or ON the people at large We understand the
trip is mainly one of recreation and to enable
the President to form some acquaint lance with
the Western country and people. In this
view it is well enough. and the people should
meet him half way, giving cordial and
kindly reception to the President of the
United States, as such. 1t is not likely his
stay here will be long enough to admit of
much in the nature of apublic demonstration,
but something should be done in the way of
arranging for the proper reception and treat
ment of the Presidential party. This should
be taken in hand either by the Board of Trade
or by citizens meeting

The fact that Washington was illiterate had
supposed, was we'll known by every reader
George and Martha, his wife, too, could not
write a grammatical letter, and the spelling Of
both was of the very worst. But did Washing
ton really write his celebrated farewell? We
answer, mo. not line of it." When Washing
ton was about to take his leave of the army he
asked Alexander Hamilton to write him fare
well address Hamilton did so. and sent it to
him. and Washington, after reading 1t, made a
change of very few words and returned it to
Hamilton, who made a copy and forwarded it to
Washington, keeping the original with the
changes in Washingtons own hand, and that
address. written by Hamilton. is the famous
farewell address CT George Washington" Now,
Tho proof of the pudding is eating the bag so

inal paper, with the changes made by Washing
ton, was quite recently-and probably is now
in possession of descendant of Hamilton who
is living in New York" What / tell you here

died in this city, and he had the reputation of

WHEN Assistant States Attorney Walker
characterized Mr.. Dan Wren in court as a
"forger and purjurer" the big boodler shouted
you're lar." Commenting on the incl
dent, the Chicago News says:
"NLr. Dan Wren is like every other rascal
He does not care what falsehoods are told of
him. 1t is the unminced truth that burns
and hurts So long Mr.. Walker confined
himself to careful dissecting of the whole
conspiracy against Cook county he talked
above and beyond the obese comprehension
of Mr. Wren. But when he spoke two true
words of Wren personally-words that Wren,
fat-witted as he is could understandable rec
ognized their truth and yelled You're a
liar"
There is remarkable similarity between
the forgers and boodlers of different localities.
1t is the truth that gals them, always.

THOSE were manly protests which the two
colored members of the Georgia House of
Representatives made against the passage of
the negro education bill. Said one of them
''Schools do not mean intermarriage. God
forbid that it should. The words that | utter,
as you all we'll know, from unedu-
Gated negro. but 1 am here to represent my
people, and am conscientious in all say and
do, and discaim the hunger and thirst of
intermarriage that has been attributed to
race. 1t makes no difference what the people
and the press say in reference to the matter.
/ make the assertion. In closing, | ask you
to vote intelligently on this bill and give us
our rights"
The other argued most forcibly that Geor-
gia was responsible for the much deprecated
ignorance of the negro. These men knew
that their words could have but little weight;
but, nevertheless, they were not restrained
from protesting against the measure by the
knowledge that the 124 white members would
vote for its passage. The bill will undoubt-
edly become a law, and, in that case, white
teachers in charge of colored schools, who
venture to instruct their own children at the
same time, will be candidates for The chain
gang.

THE STOLEN JUDGESHIP,

Neither the Coy gang, the Sentinel nor any
one else pretends to deny the fact that the
tally-sheets were altered and forged, nor that
cratic candidates. 1t was clearly in proof that
the Coy gang, and they alone had unlawful
possession of the election papers that were al
tered, and the conclusion from these circum-
stances alone makes the proof beyond ques-
ton doubt that the gang did the work.
But probably the most shameless and dis
graceful part of the transaction, so far as any
beneficiary was directly concerned, was in the
acceptance by Ayres of the office of criminal
judge. He was present while the canvass of
the votes was being made and the fraudulent
and forged returns were being used to secure
his certificate. He knew, or ought to have
known, how the returns were manipulated.
Was there such disgraceful degrade
ton of the judicial positionG
Mr.. Ayres may have been merely lay fig
ure in the fraud-there is no evidence that he
was an active participant-but before the day
that he received the certificate of his election
and his commission as Judge of the Criminal
Court of Marion county it was evident and
patent that forgeries had been committed in
his favor or in his interest, and that but for
such forgeries he would not have been certi
fed to as being elected. No one, not even the
attorneys for the defendants in the late trial,
have gone so low as to apologize for Ayres.
Mr.. McNutt especially disavowed any excuse
for the assumption by Mr.. Ayres of the Office
of criminal judge. Yet Ayres did that very
thing. The securing of that place as GRIM
inal judge where judgments would favor the
Coy gang, was the object of the forgeries.
Hence the zeal of the aw-breaking element.
The Democratic majority that elected Ayres
criminal judge was stolen majority; it
has been so held by the courts, and is now adj
mitted even by Ayres himself. He must have
known this before he accepted the commits
sion. He knew, ought to have known, that
his seat on the bench had been stolen, and yet
he assumed the place as judge to try men for
larceny, forgery and false pretenses. Suppose
some man convicted of forgery false pre-
lenses was asked by a judge holding Judi.
cial position by such title as created by
the facts in this case, why judgment should
not be pronounced against him, and he should
say: 'You hold your place to try me by
reason of perjury, forgery and conspiracy.
You may do your worst" Who would be the
greater criminal, the convict the worse
than convict judge? And yet to this extent
does the Democratic party justify this crime.
